Again…
Radical right (populist and non-populist cases): opposition to fundamental values of liberal democracy (radical) and belief in a natural order with inequalities (right)
Extreme right: rejection of democracy (Ignazi’s ‘antisystem’—but that depends on the system)
far right encompasses both these terms

What cases are you familiar with?
How should we categorise them and why?
| Radical | Extreme |
|---|---|
| AfD | Der Flügel? |
| FPÖ | NPD |
| UKIP? | British National Party |
| RN/Front National | Britain First |
| PiS/United Right | Casa Pound |
| Fidesz | Mi Hazánk Mozgalom |
| FdI, Lega, Forza Italia? | Golden Dawn |
| Partij voor de Vrijheid |
even trickier with movements?
